You are Charlie Dennet. Magician, student and assuming you choose to follow through with this assignment, partner of one of your classmates.

Today was your first day of classes since you came to Elliot University. As luck would have it, the day was mostly spent on review, since the class had more than a few former Metropolis U students. Apparently, you have a test, next week on Janurary the 24th, which, honestly, you don't feel quite prepared for. The nightmares and fearing for your life has kind of gotten in the way of studying.

However, Barry Allen, that...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>D&D 5e>Everyone uses the standard array for stats>One smartass wants to roll dice>DM says it's fine>The asshole manages to get some crazy numbers like 18 and 21 and proceeds to break the shit out of the game with a special snowflake Aasimar Cleric

It was kind of depressing, since not only was I trying to play as myself, but it was in a vaguely fantasy version of where I live in the real world. So sometimes it just got a bit too real.

I also had to live with my stats being shitty, which didn't really make it fun to roleplay myself. Every action I did was supposed to be what 'I' would do - I couldn't do things just for the mechanical advantage because that would be unrealistic or make me look like a dick when I hid instead of helping, and me being me meant that I couldn't just do things for...Comment too long.

Played in a horrible WhiteWolf game years ago where all the PCs were just the players. Concept was cool. It took us maybe 3 sessions to realize that the ST didn't know the system, and playing yourself in a game set in WoD doesn't really work when you are supposed to have woken up one day to a different reality and one of the players has dissociative identity disorder.>cue derailing

Most characters end up sliding down in their Morality due to the ease of doing bad. It's always quicker and cheaper to fuck someone over than it is to be considerate and moral, especially when other people are shooting at you. But what about Good characters? How many of you have slid down the Slippery Slope of Insanity and come back up on top? Who's played a character who deals with the trials and tribulations of the World of Darkness...Comment too long.

Since I managed to post RIGHT AS THE THREAD ARCHIVED last time... Here's another attempt at my possibly-ill-advised Homebrew VtR Mystery!

I took people's advice and went back to the drawing board with it, narrowing its focus and adjusting its power level (and making it a bit more obviously "we stole half of this shit from Sin-Eaters").

Thoughts/Comments/Critiques? I'm still having trouble judging what can be considered "balanced" for Coils, given that we only have a few official ones to compare to (and two of those aren't...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>45365750Some notes:-I'd like to add an Auspex-style mechanic to the first Coil that allows the Dragon to ask a question about a Ghost/Anchor/Etc once per session/chapter - good idea? How often should they be able to use it?

-Yes, the 4th Coil is just a Sin-eater's Boneyard Manifestation. The temporary Influence mechanic is supposed to somewhat replicate (some of) the different Keys; if someone has any suggestions of how better to handle that (or even just better terms for the Influences to give) I'd...Comment too long.

Eyegores watch across multiple systems as the Osjiic and Ahkam react to your decoy attacks.

Salvage and repair operations are well underway on the crippled Ahkam battlecruiser drifting ever closer to the upper atmosphere of the ice planet. It threatens to plummet to the frozen world below but ships of various size swarm the valuable ship attempting to prevent such a catastrophic occurrence. The communications in the system are a frenzy of rumor and guesswork. Your modest strike force evolving into a full enemy fleet in a matter of hours.

The Osjiic system your...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>45364501Completed Research:>Beasts Parasites: The multitude of parasites living inside the Beast was quite staggering, most of them comprised of mostly worm-like creatures. These worms burrowed through the flesh of the Beast and living within it's veins. Ranging from only a few inches long to specimens several yards long the parasites exhibited a diversity of species. Many sported large mandibles dripping with a numbing venom and sported tough bristles that aided in their movement through...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>This is a quest taking place in an alternate version of the Naruto world during the same time period as the story, with a few notable differences. You will be playing as Kon Karagowa, a young Leaf Jonin. Your character is defined by your choices, so write-ins are always encouraged. And remember to have fun!

You wake up to a steady swaying. You look around and find yourself in a small room, sunlight creeping in from the window. There are three small beds, including the one you're in. Sasuke and Shikamaru are asleep in the others. You glance out the window to find the sun peeking out over the horizon, the ocean as far as you can see.

That's right. You're on a ship. The four of you ran at top speed with almost no breaks for nearly two days and nights to the coast, where you caught a ship to the Water Country. You were all so tired, you went straight to your rooms...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>45364244You wake up with a start and a muffled gasp, brief images of a half-forgotten dream flashing before your eyes. You can’t remember it but you can recall flashes. Black basalt stone, the silhouette of an Ishmin soldier in the doorway lit from behind by a flash of lightning, warm sticky blood puddling on the floor. Hiss is there and her hands are red. She’s holding her lower belly and the red of her tunic is stained with a deeper shade. You don’t remember what happened next.

Is there any point to getting into 40K? I like the setting and there's a GW store nearby, but you guys are always going on about how GW is Satan and they deserve no money, and how Warhammer has progressively been getting worse, and how it might end up being End Times'd soon, which kinda makes me feel like it would be a bad idea to get involved. On the other hand, you're also still here talking about it every day so surely it can't be that bad, right?
